Arthur Seaton: Have you tried 'owt, took 'owt I mean.
Brenda: Yes, some pills, they didn't work. 30 bob they cost me, gone right down the drain.

Arthur Seaton: Brother here for long?
Jack: Fortnight. There's one thing about him though, you know, he'll always help me if I'm in any sort of trouble. If anyone does owt' against me, I can always rely on him. I was with him and his pal and we set on a bloke... never want to do 'owt like that again.
Arthur Seaton: Aye but people like that should be careful though, never to pick on the wrong bloke. I saw a fight like that once, this was with two soldiers an' all. They set on to a bloke and he wiped the floor with the both of them. It was horrible, blood all over the place, I had to turn me 'ead away.

British rock band the Arctic Monkeys were heavily influenced by this film. The title of their debut album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" is a direct quote from the movie, and many of the songs were inspired by Albert Finney's character. Also the art design of the album was influenced by the realist images of British working class neighborhoods and night life in "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning".
Albert Finney learned to use a lathe during filming.
The censors were not too keen on the scene where Arthur wakes up on Sunday morning in bed with his mistress as the scene directly implies extra-marital sex, a notable first for British cinema.
